It’s fairly accurate to say that I am a person consumed with curiosity about the nervous system and the human brain. I eagerly devour the research of, among others, Dr. Stephen Porges, Dr. Gabor Maté, Deb Dana, LCSW, Dr. Dan Siegel, Tricia Hersey, MDiv, and Jessica Baum, LMHC, and have incorporated that research into my personal and clinical practice for over 2 years. I work from an ever-growing trauma-informed and anti-colonialist approach, and rely largely on polyvagal theory, acceptance commitment therapy (ACT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT),sensorimotor psychotherapy, mindfulness, indigenous healing practices, and body movement to support the work I do with clients.
Building from a basic understanding of Polyvagal Theory and the autonomic nervous system (ANS), participants will learn a number of interventions and approaches for use in clinical practice. We'll give you tools, insights, and advice for incorporating these interventions AND guidance on ways to introduce Polyvagal Theory and the ANS to your clients through psycho-education.
